Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Sorry but now good marketing sells, not good games.



The marketing budget alone pretty much guarantees it a certain degree of success :p It could certainly be a financially flop overall, but the chances of it being a sales flop are pretty slim.

I don't understand this type of claims. How can the quality of a game not be a factor ?

 

Both the quality of a game and it's marketing have both ALWAYS been the main factors of sales. When has it been any different ?

This game is supposed to sell 16 Million LT to be considered as a success.

A "flop" is only a relative notion.

Fighter thread? Not surprised that a bungee going multiplatform game would fail, especially with more interest going for the ps4 version.

However, there is historical trend showing that whenever an exclusive has gone multiplatform it was a bad game



Free to play?....Destiny doesn't require a subscribtion unless you're considering Live and PSN as a specific game sub.



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

it's activision... it's gonna suck but it won't flop....

I hope it won't suck though but as time goes my doubt grows :D :P



Your comments seem to be looking at things negatively rather than real game problems.



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

It'll do well enough on hype alone, but could end up being a short-lived series if the players' experience isn't very good.



Love and tolerate.
